Moorglade's log shows Thursday's passage as Yorktown to Deltaville, which was my intention when leaving the Yorktown mooring at 9:00. Another adventure was heading for a friends private dock in Lawrence Cove, so I thought I would give myself an easy day and drop the hook in Fishing Bay or Jackson Creek. However as I approached the Wolftrap Tower at 12:45 Moorglade was making good time on a beam reach with tidal help, so it seemed a good idea to keep going. I knew Bob and Joy Young were planning to be sailing in the west part of Fleet Bay so I changed the passage plan and set course for Indian Creek, which I knew offered me a choice of anchorage or marina. As I was working my way slowly down the creek I was hailed on the vhf by Bob aboard Liberty who had spotted my ensign and just assumed it must be Moorglade. Not too many red dusters round these parts. I followed Liberty up the Indian Creek, turning to port into Pitman's Cove where Bob set his anchor and I rafted up alongside. Introductions made we shared a few beers and discussed the NHFII cruise which Bob has planned. 
As the evening progressed a new plan developed.
